Blondest Goat

Warne has made us a difficult team to beat but we are pretty woeful on the ball given the players at his disposal.  How many chances do we create from open play?  We've been bang average in possession for weeks now so I don't think there is a lot of credit to give to Warne for our attacking output.

Doesn't matter who we play week in week out the opposition move the ball much better than we do.  I know passing isn't the be all and end all but we make getting up the pitch look such hard work.  I just want to watch us get the ball down and play some nice football for once.  If you do that more often than not you will win.

It's on the manager who doesn't value possession and is obsessed with getting it forward quickly.

Toothless going forward. Predictable and can’t pass the ball more than 4 times.

We are so poor in possession.

Would I enjoy going for a pint with Warne? I think so. 
 
Do I enjoy some of this football? Nope. 
 
You’d like to think people can see past some of the performances over the last 2 years when judging his character. He seems like a genuinely decent bloke. 

Most football managers try and say as little as possible publicly so it's good to have one with a bit of personality that's a break from the norm.
It's the football I struggle with which I find boring to watch and uninspiring.

Spot on. I'd hate to work with some on here as clearly they are perfect each and every day, which I'm utterly certain their co-workers would corroborate!
I'm not Madley's biggest fan, as he does seem more than a tad needy, but I do think the Twatter Karens need to pipe down as it's not as if we're the only team ever to be on the end of poor calls. Looking at the Barnsley fan's response, they don't even know he was a former academy player and he's a Huddersfield fan anyway. He was jogged on by Barnsley anyway, effectively ending any aspirations to play pro footy, so I'm not really understanding the assumption he will favour them. I'd be more concerned if I were a Tykes fan tbh.

And this right here is the crux of everyone's argument. Judge him the same way other players get judged. Who seemingly get to play out a bad performance and still start the next game, often for many games in a row. They don't have to score or assist to keep their place when Sibley does.
Someone mentioned Bradley earlier in this thread and it was a decent comparison. He was atrocious at the start of the season. Up there with one of the worst defenders I can remember. Yet he's played a couple of competent games now because he's been allowed to and suddenly people are anointing him - and this isn't a knock on Bradley, this is just the fact he's allowed to play through a bad game to then show he can play. Hourihane... regularly bad. Collins... regularly bad. Smith.... regularly bad. List goes on, and this is just this past season or so. 
Just seems like players come in, be below average and that's fine, they keep playing until they show some worth. Sibley gets judged on a whole different scale by absolutely everyone. I think the days have gone where we thought we had a world beater on our hands, don't get me wrong, but a player who can score like he can from midfield positions could be worth their weight in gold at these levels... so let's find out what we have once and for all and stop bombing him out after a bad 45 minutes.

Just seen Madley in a pub in Barnsley. Having a pint with Toby Tyke. Wearing full Barnsley kit, cleaning his red cards, and he was practicing how to write "Mendez-Laing" in a little black book. On the dart board was a ram.
Make of that what you will.

3 - 1 Barnsley.
NML.

Will just put all the insufferable p*&£s on ignore.   Guess who's first?

Yeah but is once a season too much to ask?  
I'm not really knocking it as I just want us to win and get out of this league but I have some sympathy with those that have issues with what they see week in week out.  I would never have imagined that a promotion season could be so inspiring.
